At Home Body Treatment - Milk and Honey Scrub
For silky smooth skin from head-to-toe, the Milk and Honey treatment is perfect for you. This natural Milk and Honey Scrub acts as a great pick-me-up and can do wonders for drab, dull skin.The benefits of milk and honey scrub are many. Let’s take a look!
The lactic acid in milk is an alpha-hydroxy acid that naturally eats away dead skin cells, which is great for natural exfoliation.
Sugar is also a natural exfoliant that helps polish the skin.
Honey helps open your pores, helping clear away dirt and oil. In addition, honey is antibacterial, so it’s very effective in the prevention and treatment of unwanted acne.
Honey is also a natural emollient that helps hydrate your skin.
Tips for Making and Using a Milk and Honey Scrub
Since this scrub contains a perishable ingredient, it doesn’t keep. So it’s best to make it and then use it the same day.
Since the skin on your face is delicate, graduated sugar is best to use in this recipe.
As I mentioned, I like raw honey, but you can use whatever type of honey you like.
You can use this scrub 1-2 times per week, but always test to make sure it’s safe for your skin.
